Research direction

No source file or test is named in the issue. Start by reproducing the failure with the evandroforks/python-language-server and palantir/python-language-server links, compare it with related issue 89, and trace how GitHub redirects transferred forks; it is done when automatic pull-request creation works after the fork transfer.

Description

I recently transferred most of my forks into a organization called evandroforks. But now backstroke is not following the GitHub redirection and is not creating pull requests automatically.

  1. https://github.com/backstrokeapp/server/issues/89 Several (if not all) of my repositories are not receiving the Pull Requests anymore

The difference from the above case, is that the upstream had renamed from rand3k to SublimeText. Now on this case, my fork had renamed from evandrocoan to evandroforks:

The repository link is https://github.com/evandrocoan/python-language-server and the upstream is https://github.com/palantir/python-language-server

With this link you can create a pull request: https://github.com/evandroforks/python-language-server/compare/develop...palantir:develop
